Save Sequalitchew

With your support, we filed a legal appeal challenging the approval of the Pioneer Aggregates mine expansion near Sequalitchew Creek. Because appeals must be filed within a very short legal deadline, this was our one opportunity to preserve the public's right to challenge the decision in court.

Now the real work begins.

Our goal is to raise **$15,000** to help cover legal fees, court costs, printing, and campaigning throughout the appeal process.

This case is about more than one permit. It is about ensuring that our environmental laws are followed before irreversible impacts occur.

The approved project would expand mining into an area containing wetlands and groundwater resources connected to Sequalitchew Creek. The City's decision recognizes that important questions remain regarding wetlands, groundwater, stream flows, and aquatic habitat. It also relies on future studies and future mitigation planning to address some of those concerns.

We believe those questions should be answered before a project is allowed to move forward, not after permits have been issued.

Sequalitchew Creek is one of the last places in our community where people can experience a landscape that still feels wild. It supports wildlife, fish habitat, and wetlands that cannot be replaced once they are damaged.

This appeal is our opportunity to ask the court to ensure that environmental review is complete, transparent, and consistent with the law before these resources are put at risk.

Help Us Appeal the Sequalitchew Mine Expansion

We have just five days to raise the $1,500 needed to file an appeal of the recently approved Pioneer Aggregates mining project near Sequalitchew Creek.

This project threatens wetlands, groundwater, and one of the most beloved natural areas in our community.

While the City approved the project, the decision itself acknowledges significant unresolved environmental concerns, including potential impacts to wetlands, groundwater, stream flows, and aquatic habitat.

Perhaps most concerning, the approval relies on future studies and future mitigation plans to answer questions that have not yet been resolved. The City's own experts acknowledged that additional information is needed to determine whether environmental impacts can actually be mitigated and whether the required "no net loss" of ecological function can be achieved.

We believe these questions should be answered before approval, not afterward.

Sequalitchew Creek is a rare and special place. Once this project moves forward, the damage cannot easily be undone. This appeal may be our last opportunity to ensure that the environmental review is complete, transparent, and compliant with the law.

If you care about protecting Sequalitchew Creek, local wetlands, salmon habitat, groundwater resources, and responsible environmental review, please consider donating and sharing this campaign.

We have five days. Every contribution helps.

Thank you for standing with us.
